What role did the bill of rights play in convencing states to ratify the constitution?

Answer 1

The allowing of the amendments to be proposed was given in the 5th article. The states said they wouldn't sign it unless there were basic rights such as freedom of religion and speech and the right to bare arms like in the Bill of Rights. The writers agreed and gave a basic outline including the ability to change the constitution with amendments. The states after signing put up 12 ammendments for discussion and 10 were passed therefore, the Bill of Rights were made. If these rights wernt made there would be no constitution.
